ART Posted 11 January, 2013 Posted 11 January, 2013 Day 12 and sod all. Our transfer policy is just not good enough. If the club cared about improving we would have had a couple in by now. Tomorrow and next Wednesday critical to whether we move forward or not.

SB Posted 11 January, 2013 Posted 11 January, 2013 Although according the AdrianFC and red this is just standard procedure and January transfers should only happen in the last 24 hours.

Tomorrow and next Wednesday critical to whether we move forward or not. Would rather we wait and sign quality than buy Stephen Kelly or Chamak and Joe Cole... Desperate early signings are always for desperate/rubbish players.
Saint Garrett Posted 12 January, 2013 Author Posted 12 January, 2013 Although I agree, joe cole is class when fit, great signing IMO
Red Posted 12 January, 2013 Posted 12 January, 2013 Although according the AdrianFC and red this is just standard procedure and January transfers should only happen in the last 24 hours. The world is neigh!!!! We are doomed – the Mayan’s were right after all, and we are eternally fooked – good job I watched my fair share of games (win/lose/draw/some hard to tell?) whilst we didn’t implode! Implosion would be a new experience and we have certainly danced around with the concept a few times, but at the end of the day not sure I would want to experience that, after nearly 40 years of following my only team. We are simply the best - maybe not in terms of absolute achievement, but for a so called “fashionable family” club, we are holding more than our own and will get there in time – just have belief and patience.
SNSUN Posted 12 January, 2013 Posted 12 January, 2013 The world is neigh!!!! . My kingdom for a horse.
Saint Scott Posted 12 January, 2013 Posted 12 January, 2013 Sebastian Fernandez The Saints' record signing Gaston Ramirez is understood to have recommended Fernandez to his employers, who are now taking notice. It is believed that Fernandez could be available on loan from Malaga - but they would want an agreement for that to become permanent in the summer.
Saint Charlie Posted 13 January, 2013 Posted 13 January, 2013 Good for them Maybe good for Saints too if it stopped him going to QPR.
disconnect Posted 13 January, 2013 Posted 13 January, 2013 Here's one from the Sun... Newcastle United and Southampton are both keen to sign French midfielder William Vainqueur from Standard Liege.

Badger Posted 13 January, 2013 Posted 13 January, 2013 Here's one from the Sun... Newcastle United and Southampton are both keen to sign French midfielder William Vainqueur from Standard Liege. How will Dave Merrington cope with vain queer in midfield ?

The 20-year-old, who is a full international for the Czech Republic already with four caps to his name, has caught the eye this season with 14 goals for Watford in the Championship while on loan from Italian Serie A side Udinese.

itchen_dan Posted 14 January, 2013 Posted 14 January, 2013 why would we be looking for more firepower then? I wouldnt say no though. Has been outstanding for Watford so far this season. Should've scored more goals according to reports. At only 20, to have 14 championship goals at Xmas is no mean feat!
trousers Posted 14 January, 2013 Posted 14 January, 2013 why would we be looking for more firepower then? Maybe a tactical move to stop any of our rivals signing up a goalscoring machine? (albeit a Championship one)
Window Cleaner Posted 14 January, 2013 Posted 14 January, 2013 Maybe a tactical move to stop any of our rivals signing up a goalscoring machine? (albeit a Championship one) Woooh, we're Chelsea or Man Citeh then.

At only 20, to have 14 championship goals at Xmas is no mean feat! Yeah have seen a bit of him and he looks very good - pacy too.

He took Puncheon's spot and we went on to win Premier League. Possibly Cortese got to hear bout this somehow?
Window Cleaner Posted 14 January, 2013 Posted 14 January, 2013 I really want to believe this is a wind up. I don't know, ART lives down around Montpellier and to "habitués" of French Football the transfer window in England sometimes looks unnecessarily complicated. Here it's much simpler. You do your scouting, you strike a deal and the player signs on the dotted line in the first few days of January. In England most of the transfer rumours are generated by agents to drum up interest and supporters believe nothing is happening when it should be. When in fact nothing was ever happening in the first place.
SNSUN Posted 14 January, 2013 Posted 14 January, 2013 http://www.caughtoffside.com/2013/01/14/west-ham-southampton-eye-move-for-on-loan-watford-striker/ Watford fans on their forum are talking as if they'd get big money if they were to sell him (between £8-£20 million according to some) but that they're better off keeping him to get promoted. He is on loan right? From Udinese? The parent club that would get any transfer money should he bs sold? I'm not sure what they're on about there.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 14 January, 2013 Posted 14 January, 2013 Don't like the look of him - too small and feeble and has got pace and we don't need any of that. Plus as he's used to wearing yellow and red, he'll clearly get confused by us only going out in red or yellow. (Just applying the usual logic shown on here of late).

He is on loan right? From Udinese? The parent club that would get any transfer money should he bs sold? I'm not sure what they're on about there. I think the clue is Udinese's ownership. Depends which club they want to receive the transfer kitty tbh and if it's technically possible to transfer him to Watford and to another club in the same window.
eelpie Posted 14 January, 2013 Posted 14 January, 2013 Norwich City are eyeing a move for Celtic striker Gary Hooper, 24, after boss Chris Hughton admitted that he needs more fire-power. (the Guardian) Are we not interested in him any more?
suewhistle Posted 14 January, 2013 Posted 14 January, 2013 Here's one from the Sun... Newcastle United and Southampton are both keen to sign French midfielder William Vainqueur from Standard Liege. Well, we need a winner in midfield..
S-Clarke Posted 14 January, 2013 Posted 14 January, 2013 Norwich City are eyeing a move for Celtic striker Gary Hooper, 24, after boss Chris Hughton admitted that he needs more fire-power. (the Guardian) Are we not interested in him any more? We got Jay Rodriguez instead. It was always a case of one or the other. I think Jay was always our number 1 choice.
Doctoroncall Posted 15 January, 2013 Posted 15 January, 2013 The 18-year-old Barnsley right-back John Stones, not satisfied with merely sponsoring a lower-league trophy through his paint company, is at the middle of a three-way tug of war. Fulham, Wigan and Southampton are all in for the £1.5m-rated teenager. from the Guardian rumour page.
CB Fry Posted 15 January, 2013 Posted 15 January, 2013 We got Jay Rodriguez instead. It was always a case of one or the other. I think Jay was always our number 1 choice. No way. Hooper clearly was first choice. Him and Nige go way back.
DT Posted 15 January, 2013 Posted 15 January, 2013 Chaps, sorry if I've missed this, but has Puncheon still not signed a new contract?
SuperSAINT Posted 15 January, 2013 Posted 15 January, 2013 Chaps, sorry if I've missed this, but has Puncheon still not signed a new contract? Not yet, mate.
ART Posted 15 January, 2013 Posted 15 January, 2013 I really want to believe this is a wind up. You never have been capable of seeing things at face value. so I wouldn't worry about it
ART Posted 15 January, 2013 Posted 15 January, 2013 Chaps, sorry if I've missed this, but has Puncheon still not signed a new contract? For sure he will be signed up by the end of the transfer window so we can say we've made signings. Just as long as Steve de Ridder doesn't sign a contract extension in face of his Golden Turds nomination
Sour Mash Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 Seba Fernandes on loan from Malaga according to James Nursey of the Mirror. Uruguayan striker.

Wade Garrett Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 If we can get him for no thee reason than to nip him from Liverpool. That will do me I think Liverpool are interested in another player, Diakite, a defender. Zarate not interested in going to Besiktas, as he wants to play in Spain or England.
SuperSAINT Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 We need an obligatory YouTube compilation...
hypochondriac Posted 17 January, 2013 Posted 17 January, 2013 It's true, I've never mastered the reactionary simpleton approach to drawing conclusions. I'd say I'll work on it, but I guess that defeats the whole point. I think regardless of whether you are right or wrong (and you are wrong on occasion) removing the patronising tone in all of your replies would help when trying to have a proper conversation.
